Aguila's .22 Colibri

[techmike]

This stuff is neat - it has no gunpowder. It has a 20 grain bullet, and uses the primer to power it at about 550 fps. Using a Marlin bolt action rifle, it is nearly soundless - I can actually hear the click of the firing pin striking the cartridge. Then just a little phffuttt. It is great stuff for annoying the back yard squirrels. It cannot be used in a semi-auto. It is fun for an indoor range in the garage - works great in .22 revolvers - just louder than in a rifle.

Interesting very interesting.

Yes, it's very neat stuff. I have a bunch of the Super Colibri (which is a little louder/more powerful than the standard stuff) which I bought from Cheaper Than Dirt a few years back when they had it on sale for $5/brick. I've been shooting it in a Colt .22 Peacemaker, and it makes about as much recoil and noise as a cap gun.

I shoot the crap outta this stuff. I found it's the same length a .22 long so it wont feed in my .22lr only pump. I shoot into a bullet trap in my living room. The clang of the trap is louder than the report. Scares the hell out of my dogs.

It is however, lethal to squirrels.  ;D Just don't tell my Sweetie....
